Hi nick! Did they mention if they are going to release ruus proper for our devices? Because I can't find one with the proper cid (HTC__M27).. :/
[HTC Sensation] jamcomp:
Just got off the phone with HTC, and they said that there is nothing new to update on the official release of ICS for the Sensation. Once again, I will keep this thread updated every few days on what they have to say.

So I just moved and had great reception and pulling good speeds on data and all where unused to live. Now I'm pretty much out in the country and my reception has dropped off horribly! Even texts are struggling to go out, would changing radios possibly improve my signal? Any other ideas are appreciated

go to an ATT store and spend 50 bucks on a refurbished microcell. You will be glad you did.

+1 on Microcell, got one a month ago,5 bars all the time and you can put 10 numbers on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Different modem may help.

Microcell might help, but I've seen lots of reports of them acting strange/buggy/having compatibility problems.

A properly installed Wilson amplifier kit may also work - part of it depends - if you are outside, is the reception better? Is it better on your roof?

I have one of Wilson's car kits, and it has greatly exceeded my expectations.

http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-Booster-Vehicle-Profile/dp/B0011GI94Q/ref=cm_cr-mr-title is the kit I have

For home installation you'll need a different setup - higher-gain/higher-power amp, and ideally, use the highest gain antenna you can buy (one of their directional Yagis) on the roof.

Note that Bad Things happen if there is not enough isolation between the inner and outer antennas. A high-gain Yagi will help here, also, if signal is much worse indoors than out, your house is more likely to provide the needed isolation to keep the amp from going nuts.

Thanks for the suggestions. Personally might try the tin foil in the mouth! Seems like the right thing to do! While I'm at it I'll make sure I wear my hockey spikes, lick all the windows in the house and take the short bus to work!

What exactly does the micro cell do? When your talking modems are you referring to the modem installed on the phone or the physical modem in the house?

Sent from my SGH-I777 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
A microcell is basically a very small cell tower in your house - it will talk to up to 10 3g devices (does NOT work with 2g only dumb phones unfortunately) that you designate, and it runs all of it's communication to ATTs network through your highspeed internet connection (so yes, you do have to have a working highspeed connection for it to work)

Entropy is correct regarding wackiness of MicroCells - When I first got mine it would not recognize my SGS2 for anything (my Aria, my wife's Cappy, and my wifes SGS2 had no issues). Went through about an hour of troubleshooting with ATT before they had me swap sim cards with my wife - this made both SGS2s show up on the microcell. Swapped sim cards back, and no issues with it talking to my phone after that.

Twice since I've had the MicroCell it lost it's data connection - devices would connect, and voice calls and SMS would work, but no data over the microcell (this isn't a huge issue if you also have wifi, but it causes problems with MMS and the android market). This has been remedied by logging into my ATT account and disconnecting then reconnecting the microcell via the web.

However, the relatively minimal pain this has caused is far outweighed by going from frequent (3 to 5 times in a 10 minute call) dropped calls and poor-ish battery life due to cell radios cranking full blast to retain signal to landline-like call quality with no drops and improved battery life at home.

Jivy is referring to the modem software in the device - and yes a different one might improve your reception.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
One thing is, the microcell relies on your Internet connection AND your house having power, but AT&T still charges you for usage even though you are not putting any load onto their spectrum infrastructure at all!

A properly installed bidirectional amp only needs power - and if you want reliability, you can easily battery-backup the system.

The only time a microcell would be better is if your local tower goes completely down but you stilll have power AND internet at home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Just did some quick looking over on amazon, because I was curious about this type of set-up. Looks like about $400-$500 bucks for a home setup? Is that correct, or am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Hmm, yeah, that's the other disadvantage - they are more expensive. However they are also carrier-independent.

http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Electronics-Booster-Omni-Directional-Antennas/dp/B001R4BTH6 is a full kit at $345, it doesn't have an outdoor yagi though.

http://www.amazon.com/801245-Cellular-Phone-Signal-Booster/dp/B000PD02HI is one of their raw amps, antennas are around $60 each (one internal one external), that one has the directional yagi listed as a "frequently bought together")
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
AT&T dosent charge me at all for having a microcell. It just pulls from my normal minutes and/or mobile to mobile minutes. I also wasnt charged to get one... I told them where I lived and they said that was a known dead spot and gave me a new microcell for free.

I stopped using it though because I noticed a significant battery drain when I used my microcell with my phones. I first got it with my Captivate but it would drain it within about 5 hours (even untouched) and with my GSII it did the same thing, although not as fast. Id rather have 2 bars and better battery life than 5 bars and a dead phone by 3:00 in the afternoon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I don't get a monthly charge for the MicroCell either - I think what Entropy was referring to is that we ARE still using our plan minutes, while NOT using any of ATTs over-the-air infrastructure. If ATT wanted to be nice to us, we should get unlimited talk time on the MicroCell without having to pay extra. But then again, they charge like a bastard for SMS, which should also be free (but that's a whole other argument :-) ). As you said, it is still a benefit, at least for me, because I can now reliably make mobile-to-mobile calls to my house (with unlimited M2M minutes) rather than calling my home VOIP number and using peak minutes.

As far as battery drain goes, the MicroCell is MUCH better on my battery than the 1 bar that I get without it. FWIW, today, I have been at home except for about 2 hours - phone off the charger from 6:30am, so about 8hrs 20 minutes, with about 5 minutes of talk time, 15 min of screen on, Gmail push, and eBuddy XMS (yeah, can't convince my wife that gTalk is just as good and won't kill our batteries - the things we do for love...) and my battery is at 91%, so just over 1% per hour with minimal usage. I'm on Jivy's ICScreweD 1.6.1 with Entropy's 01022012 kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That is charging you for a microcell. It's YOUR infrastructure, YOUR internet backhaul - but they still charge you as if you were using their infrastructure and backhaul.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nizda1:
Entropy is correct, I called att 2 weeks ago asking about it complaining of poor reception etc. I don't know how long ago you guys had it but as of now its 19.99/month plus cost of device and that's an additional charge on top of current bill.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Unless something changed since end of September, the 20 bucks a month charge will get you additional (unlimited maybe, I can't recall details) talk and data over the Microcell. Was definitely NOT required when I bought mine...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roush427rr:
Thanks for all of the help it is much appreciated. Thanks also for taking it easy on a newbie, downloaded all of the modems and gonna give each one a try for a few days. Also should mention other than being rooted and rom'd I am using the phone on tmobile which I know is not the greatest to begin with. So hopefully something works out to my advantage.

You will not get 3g service on T-mobile with your phone. The AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't have the radios needed for T-mobile's 3g service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
LOL, important piece of info there :-) don't go buy an ATT Microcell!

entropy's solution is probably the way to go for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roush427rr:
Actually changed modems to the uckh7 and much better service. Yeah I know bout the 3g thing. I had actually broke my SGS2 from tmobile and it wasn't covered under warranty. So I was in a bind and grabbed this one off a friend who just got a skyrocket. Little unlock magic and here I am. Sooner or later I will get back to a real one and enjoy my data speeds again. But again thanks a lot for the help.

Sorry for the newb question, I bought extended battery. My question is should I keep my old battery fully charged or should I drain it? I don't plan to use it, but I'm sure in rare occasions I will bring it along on trips where I may need a backup. Mim trying to maximize the life of the battery so not sure what is best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
You should drain it below 40% (but keep some charge in it) and store it in a cool and dry place. It will drain further by itself over time as well so when you do need to use it again make sure you top it back up.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex@debi:
Hi, folks

The wall's got another brick...

I've flashed an archos-gpl-gen8 kernel, compiled with some (many) additions to their standard .config (but not to source code), and now my A101 doesn't want to turn on anymore... The screen stays black, no response to reset and/or Vol+/- buttons. But charging green light stays steady green (i.e. not blinking) even when charger is not connected. It feels like the tablet has hung and blocked the PM unit somehow... Also it looks like it's not a hardware problem, because up till then I didn't notice any hardware issues.

Did anyone have similar problem before? How can I bring my A101 back to life?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholbert:
Hi alex@debi!

First i'd like to state, that the Archos devices are barely unbrickable.

As long as you leave the bootloader untouched and don't mess up the rawfs with the elementary files (e.g. avboot, recovery,...etc.).

So let me ask you how did you replace the kernel in detail?

Was SDE already installed on your device?

Did you try to press the power button for more than 10 seconds?

No never had this problem...

As already stated, under normal circumstances the device could be easily recovered from a bad kernel flash.

It really seems your tablet hangs at some point, but even if it does you should be able to enter recovery after reseting.

Please try again and reflash kernel.

Good luck,

scholbert
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfmcbrayer:
Maybe it is actually a hardware problem with your power button and/or volume button? Long-reset and boot-to-recovery should be pretty independent of the kernel you've flashed.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex@debi:
It turned out to be a false alarm! Sorry...

After being left alone for a day my A101 is alive again! It's just a kind of magic! Looks as if yesterday it simply got tired from intense kernel flashing experiments...

Thanks anyone for your support!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scholbert:
Sometimes it's magic :p

I'm glad that your device is alive and kickin'

Regards,

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stearmandriver:
Hi,

I know this is a dumb question, but I can't find a specific answer. The title pretty much gives the gist of my question; specifically, I'm wondering if I can Odin myself to stock rooted EL26 and then install JUST the wireless tether hack, without flashing a kernel with CWM or another custom recovery. The instructions for the hack package just say "flash in recovery". ANY way to do that in Odin?

No biggy if I have to install CWM, I'm just trying to stay as stock as possible since, unlike the OG Epic, this one doesn't really NEED custom kernels and ROMs to rock!

Thanks for any answers...

For those who don't know, adding a guest basically puts said event on their calandwr as well. This is a great feature and I'm hoping I can figure out how to get it to work on my phone as I don't carry my tablet everywhere with me.
